War Against Detective Agencies.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-The Knights of
Labor have declared war upon the Pin
kertons and other detective agencies
which make it II business to furnish
armed patrolmen for service in labor
and within the next thirty
days bills prohibiting the Importation
of Plnkel ton detectives and making it
Il penal offence for any employe of such
agency to exercise authority as an OIL
Ger Of the law, will be introduced in
nearly every state legislature which is
now III session in this country. Meas
ureS Of the kind will be introduced in
the legislatures OF Wisconsin. Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Illinois in the course
of the next two weeks, and those re-
SponSible for the movement say that
even should they fail in some states,
they are confident of giving the system
il severe set back.
At the headquarters OF the Pinker-
tons IL this city, the movements OF the
various legislatures have occasioned
considerable uneasiness. Col. w. A.
P:nkerton, however, declined to discuss
the question more than to say that he
will abide by whatever bills may be-
come law. "If the law sustains me |
will sustain it, he saws. The move
ment originated among the knights of
labor here.

The Philadelphia Times in speak
ing of the attempt at revision of the
three mills tax law by the present leg
islature says:
"The organized raid that was to be
made on the three-mill tax law affect
ing personal property as soon as the
Legislature should meet, has not yet
succeeded in organizing itself. The
trouble seems to be that almost every
would-be tax reformer at Harrisburg
has his own special scheme for tinker
ing with the tax laws and is not oyer
willing to see anything else 60 through
if his plan fails of acceptance. Or
ganization under the circumstances is
not SO easy as it seemed to be from a
distance.
On the contrary, the sentiment that
real estate las borne more than its
share of taxation long enough and
that the time has come to relieve it
seems to be stronger than ever. The
desperation of the advocates of repeal
of the three-mill law is shown by their
arguing, on the one hand, that the

Deafness Can be Cured.

Deafness is caused usually by an inhamed
condition Of the mucus surface of the Enstacll.
ian Tube. This Tube is the channel of c0mmu
tlicatior betYeen the tympaneum and the up
per part Of the Rharynx TIoIber. sha4id this
Tube become infamed and closed up, Deafness
is the result. If 1t is only partially closed you
haye a rumbling sound Or an imperfect hear
ing. There are two great causes for this: one
is from taking severe cold and the other from
ali impure e)ndit.qE Cf the blood, the conse-
quence is that this tube has The Catarrh. Ca

Of the mucus surface. Halls Catarrh Cure is
Eaken intepnally and acts directly upon the

THE Interstate Commerce Bill
which passed both Houses and will
likely be signed by the President is
now a law, and as many other exist
ING laws it also has its defects and is
in some parts dark to the understand
ing of the common public, But as n
whole it can be considered as begin
ming to the check which the country
ought to put on the unscrupulous bus
mess system of the powerful corpora
tions. Section 2 prohibits railroads
to charge different persons different
prices for substantially the same SER
vice Section 5 forbids to give GER
tain persons, firms or corporations spec
ial privileges on railroads. Section 4
provides that railroads dare not make
higher freight charges for transporta-
ton in small distances than in large
distances. Section prohibits COM
binations for so-called pooling"
Section provides that within 90 days
after the passage of this law all trans.
portation or freight offices must print
and publish their rates, Section 10
fixes the penalty for transgessors of
this law at $4,000. The next eleven
sections treat OF the commissioners,
which shall be five in number and
who shall be appointed by the Presi-
dent. The term of the commissioners
shall be six years with a salary of
$500. Section % appropriates $780,
900 for the enforcement of the law
and section 26 demands that the COM
missioners shall be appointed forth
with, but that the prov isions of the
other sections shall not go into effect
until sixty days after the passage OF
the law.

borrower of money pays the tax in
the shape of increased interest if not
otherwise while, on the other hand,
they argue in the same breath that
the lender is at disadvantage, be-
cause money lenders from New York
and other States can come in and un-
derbid him by just the amount of the
tax. In this case the lender virtually
pays the tax, not the borrower The
would-be repealers will have to do bet
ter than this to argue the law off the
statute books.

WHEN Queen Victoria opened par
lament in the customary style from
her throne the other day she delivered
her speech to the members and the
synopsis of it is that in her opinion
Everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high" The queen seems to
willfully shut her eyes to the threat
ening aspects in the countries about
her, or else she is woefully misinform-
ed. The way things look the British
lion may at any time be aroused from
his seeming indifference.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1887

WASHINGTON, JAN. 81, 1887.
The toilers on Capitol Hill confront
ed various questions during the past
week. some Of which were important,
while others were not so. Among them
were the fisheries trouble with Canada !;
women suffrage; =; pension the bill es-
tablishing Agricultural Experiment
Stations the bill preventing members
for corporations with which Congress
has important dealings the Pleuro-
Pneumonia bill the River and HarbOr
bill, and several of the other regular
appropriation bills.
The Women Suffrage Association,
which has just closed its nineteenth an
nual convention in this city, saw the
Senate remOrSelessly vote down their
proposed suffrage amendment to the
Constitution. But siX.eenSenatOrS vot-
ed in favor of the ladies,and that was
great victory for them. They.have re-
peatedly seen both houses of Congress
vote against the consideration OF the
proposed amendment, but this was the
first time they ever had a vote on the
amendment itself.
1t looks as if there is really to be
change ia the Cabinet soon, and that
two of the best officials in the Treasury
are to become president and vice preSi-
dent of the new National Bank in New
York. | refer to the Secretary OF the
Treasury and to the u. ). Treasurer,
Mr.. Jordan. Mr.. Manning declines to
say anything regarding the matter, but
it is generally believed that he will Of
fer his resignation to take effect soon
after the adjournment OF Congress.
The contemplated retirement of Treas
urer Jordan at that time is openly ac-
knowledged.
There is a clear case for veto in the
drag-net pension bill which has passed
the House and the Senate and now goes
to the President. 1t provides that all
persons who served three months or
M, re in the military or naval service of
tbo I'm; ;'ed States in any war, shall be
nansioned a. the rale of Si2 per month
If tbav are nnab,,,e to earn support be-
cause of physical G. mehtal cisaOlll'y.
Anything to spend the surplus appear ;
to be the motto Of the RepuH.lcahs OF
both branches of Congress, This Itsa
ure which was rushed through the Sen-
ate without roll-call, virtually creates
an annex to the PensionBureaub because
1t offers gratuities to disabled eX-sol-
diers. without regard to any e0nnec-
tion bet Ween their service ia the army
and their present disability.
The bill would take unknown mill
ions out of the Treasury If 1t became a
law, for it also provides at the rate Of
S12 per month for the dependent rela-
tives of soldiers who are not able TO pro-
vide for them. This would be convert
ing the Federal Government into an in
stitut!on for dispensing outdoor relief,
and encouraging shlftlessDess among a
class that might otherwise be self.sup-
porting.

SINCE the appointment in the House
of an Investigating committee which
would demand an adjustment and cor
rection of the wrongs committed by
the managers of the soldiers orphan
schools it occurs to the republican
senate that now would be the proper
time to close the schools and in view
of that an investigation is considered
unnecessary. The closing of the
schools is all right as their mission
has been completed a few years
ago. But we really do not see why
that should make the wrongs perpe-
trated less subject to investigation or
the guilty parties less punishable.

TUE resolutions ado pied in the Q.
S. Senate, which empower the Presi'
dent to rebuff canada in tie fishery
difficulty for cutting oil american YES
sells from their harbors, by for .'doins
Canadian vessels to cruise in Amerl-
can waters, has had the desired effect
in England. Parliament has already
had several propositions under consid-
Grafton to settle the fishery question
amicably, which goes to show that
England is troubled about the threat
ening tone of the Senate's resolutions.
Certain it is that if England does not
make efforts to remove the bone of
contention the United States govern
ment will settle the matter in a way
that may give Great Britain a little
trouble.

THE name of Senator Cameron is
mentioned of late in connection with
the presidency in 1888. The we'll
grounded impression is that Cameron
carries the Republican party of tie
old Keystone in his vest pocket. But
as to his presidential candidacy the
use of his name may be a trife too
premature. We are a good ways off
vet from the national campaign and
he may be killed off as a candidate be-
fore we get there

a Busy Week for Congress,

WAsHl NGTON, Jan. 3l.-This week
promises to be busy and eventful one
in the House. Among the measures
that may be pressed are the Randall
tariff bill, the fishery retaliation mat
ters, pills for additional cruisers, and
the pleuro.pneumonia bill, besides some
one or another or the appropriation
bills. the naval committee will make
a determined effort soon to forward the
interests of the new navy. The con-
struction Of at least four big cruisers,
besides sundry gunb0ats and torpedo
boats, will be probably recommended.

the cheek to go. He was willing to act
the hypocrite himself and had no doubt
that the president and his wife were
equally ready. After refraining from
calling the president a dog because he
didn't want to insult the dog he felt
able to meet the president and wife
with a smile and give the hand Of
friendship and pay to them his respects.
He thought that they, too, would play
the hypocrite and smile on him and
give his hand cordial grip. He was
taught lesson in decency by Mrs. c..
who, when Foraker approached in
the procession, calmly folded her hands
and looked another way. And what
wife with any self-respect or respect for
her husband would not have done Just
the same? The Argns doffs it's hat to.

Mr.. CIeveIand's Regrets.

Oshkosh Times.
President Cleveland says he can not
come to Oshkosh. This is too bad. He
sends his regrets, and no doubt he re-
grets his inability to visit Oshkosh very
deeply. And he should. Mr.. Cleveland
will never be satisfied with mis- Western
trip now that he has decided to leave
Oshkosh out of the list of cities he will
honor with his presence. On his return
to Washington to grapple with the intri-
cate problems of state, with one eye on
the Democratic tiger and other on the
Fiftieth congress, he will discover what
he has missed when every visitor asks
him if he Stopped in Oshkosh and
whether he had any fun with the boys.
Mr.. Cleveland's Western education
will be sadly neglected. he will find as
he goes back home with only the knowl-
edge of Oshkosh collected on the trains,
politicians of Milwaukee. He will dis
cover when it is too late that he
should have seen the city that
will fly the pennant in the Northwest
ern Base Ball league; that furnishes
congressman for neighbOrhOOd
district which was short of good timber;
that is the home of one of the million
aire senator's; that furnishes state Off
GERS whenever the occasion demands:
that is soon to have government build
ing over which the executive mind was
so much worried year ago; that is
WiscOnsin's second city in population,
wealth and Importance of her manufac-
turing and industrial interests.
All this President Cleveland misses
by fooling away his time while in Wis
consin browsing around the lonesome,
silent city of Madison, which is noted
only as the biennial resort of politicians,
and the home of William Freeman
Villas
